These mango chamoy paletas combine sweet, ripe mangoes with tangy, spicy chamoy sauce for a refreshing and fun summer treat that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup chamoy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh mango chunks

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 3 medium ripe mangoes into chunks. Reserve 1/2 cup of these chunks for texture later.
  2. Add the majority of the mango chunks to the blender along with 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup if you like it sweeter. Blend until smooth but still thick.
  3. Pour the mango puree into a large mixing bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder and a pinch of salt. Mix well and adjust chili powder to taste.
  4. Fold in the reserved 1/2 cup of fresh mango chunks.
  5. Spoon the mango mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing. Insert wooden sticks. Drizzle a little chamoy sauce inside the molds before pouring the mango mixture, then gently swirl with a toothpick for a spicy chamoy swirl.
  6. Freeze the paletas for at least 4-6 hours, ideally overnight.
  7. Once frozen, carefully remove the paletas from the molds. Drizzle additional chamoy sauce over each paleta and sprinkle a tiny pinch of chili powder or Tajín seasoning for extra heat and color.
  8. Serve immediately or keep in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and creaminess. Drizzle chamoy inside molds and swirl gently to avoid icy texture. Run warm water briefly on molds to release paletas easily. Almond milk can replace water for creamier texture. Adjust chili powder to control heat level.
